			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the morning announcements draw to an end, a familiar crowd filters in to the Little Theater. Pamela Lim-McAllister, Zian Liu’s teacher, club advisor, and longtime supporter, takes a seat in the back end of the room, sporting her trademark expression of enthusiasm. Key members of the Dragon’s Fury Game Series Design Team &#8212; Richard Yao, Daniel Goldwyn, and Nir Maoz, among others &#8212; take seat in the second row. After a brief introduction from Felix Yoon, Liu marches down the aisle donning typically formal attire. As he approaches the podium, he stops momentarily to scan the audience. For a quick second, perhaps to reflect on the years of hard work that have brought him here, he breathes an accomplished sigh of relief. He then proceeds to begin his speech.</p>
<p>In May of 2008, Liu &#8212; a self-described “socially-awkward thirteen year old boy” &#8212; set out on a mission to create Dragon’s Fury: Legend of the Dragon Master. For the past several years, he’s worked tirelessly on the full-length role-playing game. With the support of many others along the way, and in spite of the occasional self-doubt, he’s finally completed the 57th stage of his game.</p>
<p>As he addresses the audience in announcement of the completion of Dragon’s Fury: Legend of the Dragon Master, which will be packaged for release by February 2012, he devotes most of his speech to thanking the many people who have &#8212; either directly or indirectly &#8212; assisted him in his creation of the game.</p>
<p>Those who know Liu are well aware of his accomplishments. Whether it’s in Science Bowl, Model United Nations, or merely academics, Liu has constantly excelled in a multitude of fields. In spite of this, he’s ultimately a humble man.</p>
<p>In his speech, this becomes quite apparent. Liu’s announcement speech is not a salute to his own accomplishment, but rather, an expression of gratitude for all those who have inspired, influenced, and supported him in these many years. The speech is also, of course, supplemented with the communist values which comprise the essence this dynamic man.</p>
<p>He ends his speech with a message of inspiration, encouraging others to realize that the seemingly impossible remains within reach. This challenging journey, through dedication, confidence, and countless hours on a dying Toshiba laptop, has proven successful.</p>

As the holiday season ramps up stress levels rise (Halloween is just a warm up for the culinary challenges and onslaught of relatives that is Thanksgiving). The second quarter brings an increasing workload and the arduous ascent to midterms. Although you may feel particularly burdened with this unpredictable state, take solace in the fact that chaos has been bugging people for thousands of years. The ancient Greek poet Ovid referred to chaos as a “rude and undeveloped mass… all discordant elements confused.” So take this day to commemorate the randomness in your life, because without it the universe would not exist.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>May 3, 2008
<p>Near the top of the list of &#8220;things that let you know when an election is close&#8221; is when Guam&#8217;s caucus matters. Yes, for those of you that don&#8217;t know, residents of Guam are US citizens, and about 4000 of them will vote today to choose (drumroll) four delegates. While neither candidate actually went to Guam, they did each campaign there, in a way. Barack Obama opened a campaign office in the territory, setting up an extensive phone banking operation there so that people could call guam, which has a time zone so strange that it&#8217;s 5 AM on sunday there right now (that&#8217;s 17 hours ahead!). Clinton, on the other hand, tried to appeal to the Guamese citizens the same way a politician would appeal to a normal state; extravagant promises she won&#8217;t keep. Clinton promised the Guamese citizens full voting rights (probably not a good idea, since they voted for Bush in 2004 in an unofficial straw poll) and about a thousand dollars for each adult in reparations. The real question is whether that would mean making Guam a state (a 179,000 person state? A state with the unemployment rate of Ghana? A third world state in the US?) and would almost certainly mean making Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the American Samoa states as well? Well, since everybody&#8217;s voted in guam, those questions likely won&#8217;t be answered until the candidates start campaigning in Puerto Rico, which has more delegates than many states.</p>
<p>In other news, Clinton&#8217;s polling numbers have shown much improvement, and she now leads Indiana by 7-8 while only trailing by 7-8 in North Carolina. It appears she actually has a good shot at getting the most delegates on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Obama leads by 8% right now in Guam with half the precincts reporting&#8230;I&#8217;ll keep you updated on the results&#8230;or not&#8230;I mean seriously, it&#8217;s Guam.</p>
<p>And that&#8217;s the Muse.</p>
